Odissea – An Almost True Story

Who has not heard of Homer’s ‘Odyssey’?”Odissea – An Almost True Story” is an adventure that “almost” recounts the deeds of Ulysses, taking him to legendary places, such as the cave of the Cyclops, Calypso’s island, the Sirens’ tavern…

A long journey in search of his homeland, Ithaca, where his beloved Penelope has been awaiting his return for many years.Troy has fallen by his ingenuity, but mocking a god is unwise (and the euphoria of the victory is no excuse): Ulysses will pay dearly for this error.

There will be many tests that he must undergo in order to appease Poseidon, but fortunately not all of the gods want to see him suffer.Indeed, Athena is on his side, and, thanks to her advice, our hero will once again be able to see the coasts of Ithaca, where other troubles await him…
